Taste-matched follow-ups
Use this page for more paranormal casework, ghost-slayer investigation, and court intrigue mystery without retreading the same show.
Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.
Why this fits: Bon Appétit, Your Majesty keeps the 1400s court pressure front and center, with a specialist forced to survive palace life through constant, high-stakes tests. The East Palace’s ghost-slaying casework and cursed-hearing dread feel similar in how every scene turns into a problem to solve under royal scrutiny, but this one leans warmer and funnier than dark monster-hunting.
Why this fits: Agent from Above delivers supernatural crime work with a team built for danger, where ghosts and demons are treated like real rules you have to follow. The East Palace’s ghost-slayer and cursed woman dynamic matches the on-screen pull of investigators in motion, trading court intrigue for mythic confrontations, while the ensemble chemistry keeps the tension moving faster.
Why this fits: Miss Scarlet brings period mystery tension through social obstruction, where competence has to fight for space in a women-excluded world. The East Palace’s court secrets and relentless investigation energy carry over in the way leads push past barriers to keep cases alive, but the tone is more intimate and character-driven, with less action and more stubborn partnership friction.
Why this fits: Oasis leans into revenge romance and a love triangle, so the emotional stakes stay front and center even when relationships turn sharp. If The East Palace’s paranormal casework and court intrigue mystery pull you toward cursed-voice hunts, this one swaps the supernatural danger for betrayal-driven young adult conflict and 1980s excess.
Why this fits: My Royal Nemesis brings love-hate romance and stubborn chemistry into a period-to-modern clash with time-slip comedy. Where The East Palace focuses on contained supernatural arc and dark realm hunts, this pick trades ghost-slayer investigation for romantic antagonism and a more playful, fantasy-romcom engine.
Why this fits: Had I Not Seen the Sun is a slow-burn crime mystery built around prison interview thriller dread and ghost-inflected psychological unease. If The East Palace gives you cursed-voice haunting and court intrigue mystery, this one keeps the supernatural pressure more uncanny and internal, with romance threading through documentary-style unease.
